Global Digital Health Summit, Expo & Innovation Awards 2024 was held on 4th & 5th October at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. This year’s theme, “Digital Health at Scale: Success Stories,” showcased how innovations in AI and digital transformation are shaping the future of healthcare, bringing together leading experts, policymakers, and innovators from around the world.
The summit's various sessions focused on topics such as AI in Healthcare, Digital Transformation of Hospitals, and the Role of Digital Technologies in Managing Chronic Diseases. Experts shared insights on scalable AI solutions, successful digital hospital transformations, and innovative approaches to long-term condition management.
In his special address, the event’s chief guest, Prof. Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Laureate, Founder & Former MD, Grameen Bank, remarked, “Health is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right. Technology can break barriers of geography, economy, and gender but it’s only part of the solution. By merging tech with broader efforts, we can make digital health the driving force behind accessible and equitable care for all.”
Addressing the event, Dr. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, Chairman, Global Digital Health Summit said, “The current UN Digital Health mandate urges policymakers to connect all people, schools, and hospitals to the internet. Therefore, we need to make the move from healthcare to health and promise digital health for All. As patients are moving from episodic to pre-emptive and holistic care, doctors need to move beyond stethoscopes, hospitals from bedside to websites, and pharma companies need to move beyond selling medicines to digital health. This is the age of creation and Digital Health will pave the way for more accessible and equitable care in the country.”
The event also featured an Expo showcasing innovative digital health products, services, and solutions from around the world, providing attendees with a firsthand look at the future of healthcare technology. The summit culminated with the Global Digital Health Innovation Awards, which recognized and honoured outstanding contributions to the digital health sector.
